Agata Mayes is a Polish-born visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia. In this episode, she talks about growing up in Poland during the transition from Communism, the influence of her father’s photography hobby, the effect on her of having both parents as mathematicians, working in the aviation industry, how her move to Australia opened up opportunities in photography, the embrace of emerging technology and using projection mapping for her installations, how her work incorporates elements of psychology, philosophy and self-identity, and her views on AI.
